talk a little bit about the history of this agency, and the role of tax increment financing, which is what we're really talking about. in 1989 the old imperial redevelopment agency was done in by this board of supervisors when it allowed the use of tax increment financing subject to fundamental and basic changes in the structure of the redevelopment agency. and it has been that agency from 1990 on that we're dealing in terms of this successor agency. it is important to understand that the board of supervisors insisted that for the use of tax increment financing, understanding during the battle days of urban renewal no tax increment financing was allowed. the point is that the board of supervisors insisted on its direct control, including land use controls that i believe exist in this ordinance and in the amendments proposed by the council of community housing organizations. i would be happy to answer any questions, if there are any. seeing none, i will go.
